Ciné Résistance: The Palestinian Cause "Born in Gaza" (Hernán Zin) | The Present (Farah Nabulsi)

Ciné Résistance at soso: The Palestinian Cause
soso.space launches a new format: Ciné Résistance.
On Tuesday evenings, soso.space will be screening motion pictures and documentaries viewing global history, issues and causes from the perspective of the oppressed, starting on 30 January with a film series about Palestine and the Palestinian cause.
The movies and documentaries shown will all be selected and – if possible - presented by people affected by the cause. We hope to create a space, where people affected, their allies and people interested to understand history and context of ongoing issues can meet. The bar will stay open after the movie screenings and offer space for discussions for everyone who wants to stay for a drink.
These movie screenings are Soli-events. Every contribution to run the event is voluntary. The collected funds at the door will be going to an organization related to the cause shown in the screening in full. The bar revenue will be used to pay for the expenses of the event.
Ciné Résistance wants to provide a safer space for people to come together, talk, share thoughts or just watch a movie and get inspired. We certainly encourage SWANA-people to join.
Ciné Résistance is preparing a list of links and information about Palestine/Gaza and the ongoing genocide in order to give people the possibility to educate themselves if required. Until further notice, the evenings on the topic of Palestine are taking place on a weekly basis.
soso.space will provide a bar at low cost, tea and snacks for free. Before and after the screening, curated music will be played, selected by artists close to the cause.

"Born in Gaza" by Hernán Zin, documentary, 65 min
BORN IN GAZA provides an intimate, deep look – leaving aside political debates – of how violence transforms the lives of ten children. A deeply human vision of the war and its consequences. The film ends three months after the end of the Israeli offensive, allowing us to see what has become of these children while highlighting their struggles to overcome the horrors suffered and regain some normalcy in their lives. Through observational footage and interviews, Hernán Zin provides, with sensitivity, individual stories that go far beyond news coverage of the events and offer children the opportunity to be heard. In doing so, he also provides space for dialogue and healing. ‘The situation is really complicated. We have a war every two years’, states 13 year old Mohamed. ‘I often think about our situation and I never see the end’. https://www.cinemapolitica.org/film/born-in-gaza/
